the human body itself is a work of art, it is beautiful and to add paint to it is just as beautiful but it enhances what we already have. tasteless is vulgar art, maybe of two people having sex or of a women giving head or things that should stay in the bedroom but painting on a persons body which is art itself is remarkable. to each his own though!

Everything is beautiful to me. Show me that pink floyd poster, beautiful. A boy in court for being molested, beautiful. Is there such thing as simple beauty? No, its all complexed, we are complicated beings, if we created it, it must be beautiful in the creators eyes, whether it was rape/murder to nothing but a harmless painting.

Beauty has nothing to do with morals or what is right and wrong, beauty has nothing to do with death and life..beauty has nothing to do with art, whether it be on care or insult.

Beauty is..the view of what is created, and so is art. Art is what you create, therefore it must be beautiful.

You create it, its art, you view your creation, its beautiful.

if its not beautiful, then it wasn’t created. If its not artificial, then it leaves to be deeper within beauty and/or art. screw the knowledge of THAT.

Beauty is skin deep. It should also run deeper. Appearance as we know is the thing we notice when we see a person in person or through media. We determine beauty based greatly on social influence and on personal preferences. This is not wrong, it is reality.

Some human bodies are beautiful to some people and this is healthy. We should be attracted to each other. Personally, I am not attracted to infants, but some find them adorable.

Attraction to a beautiful male or female nude, even sexual, is a healthy normal thing. It is abnormal to resist, although that is an option. This is not to say that we must have sex with every person we are attracted. I feel is wrong to deny beauty because it encourages sexual interest.

How far can art go before you consider it not art and just simply tasteless?? Or can it get far enough for you to say that? Would you consider everything art then? Can any nudity be acceptable as art? Are there any regulations of any kind? Is there any art you would personally consider in bad taste?

art is two-way. it is what the artist wanted to express to and evoke in the viewer, and it is what you perceive as the viewer, is what defines art as art, and we are all different enough to disagree. similar to what Exo said, but depends on the individual, and i guess it relies experience or understanding too (not in a snobby way, in what you can get out of something from reflecting on your own experiences).

to see the human body is one of the most beautiful things imaginable to the eyes. to say that it is nudity is not right n my mind. well the female body is portrayed as a sex fugure it is then considered nudity. but when it is displayed as art it is hard to say that is not art. just to see the curves of a woman, or the masculinity of a man. is one of the greatest gift that God has given us. but who am i say to say what is right or wrong, it is up to you to make your own opinions.

Well obviously, its art. Sure, some things are not- porn for example. But this is different. A human body can be portrayed as something that is so beautiful and so unique and can be used to express a wide variety of sensual emotions.

my personal straight opinion about nuditiy is if the person is fat cover up, but otherwise it's art to me. i am an artist so nudity i find art, but seriously in my STRONG opinion fat people really need to cover up i mean it's just discusting and vulger.
